Definitions
- the instant invention relates to safety apparatus and more particularly to a reversible glove constuction which can be effectively embodied as a safety glove of the type used by meat cutters.
- the instant invention provides a highly effective reversible glove construction which is adapted to be embodied as a safety glove for use in protecting a hand of a meat cutter during a meat cutting operation.
- the glove construction of the instant invention comprises a reversible glove portion made of a flexible sheet material and a cuff portion which is secured to the open end portion of the glove portion and includes a pair of elongated, connected, side-by-side cuff strips.
- the cuff portion is constructed so that it is alternatively securable in encircling relation around either wrist of a wearer, and the open end portion of the glove portion is secured to the cuff portion in the area between the elongated cuff strips.
- the glove is securable on either hand of a wearer in a position wherein the cuff portion is secured in encirculing relation around the adjacent wrist and wherein one of the cuff strips overlies the open end portion of the glove portion and the other cuff strip is positioned immediately beyond the open end portion of the glove portion on the adjacent wrist.
- the glove portion is constructed of a flexible wire mesh sheet material, and the cuff strips are constructed so that they are independently securable in encircling relation around either wrist of a wearer.
- the glove portion is preferably formed with a longitudinally extending slit therein which extends inwardly a distance from the open end of the glove portion, and the cuff portion is preferably secured to the glove portions so that the ends of the cuff portion are positioned adjacent opposite side edges of the slit to enable the slit and the cuff portion to be opened for more easily receiving a hand in the glove portion.
- the glove portion and the cuff portion are preferably dimensioned so that when the glove portion is received on a hand of a wearer, the portions of the glove portion which are located adjacent the slit overlap each other to assure that the hand is completely covered and protected by the wire mesh material.
- the instant invention provides an effective glove construction which is adapted to be embodied as a wire mesh safety glove and which is effectively reversible to enable it to be alternatively worn on the left hand or on the right hand.
- the cuff portion of the glove construction and the manner in which the glove portion is attached to the cuff portion make the glove construction readily reversible to enable it to be alternatively worn on either the left hand or the right hand.
- Another object of the instant invention is to provide an effective reversible glove construction having a glove portion and having a cuff portion which includes a pair of elongated side-by-side cuff strips wherein the glove portions is secured to the cuff portion between the cuff strips.
- An even further object of the instant invention is to provide a reversible safety glove for meat cutters.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the safety glove of the instant invention as it is worn on a left hand of a wearer;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the removal of the glove from the left hand and the reversal of the glove
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the glove as it is worn on a right hand of a wearer.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view illustrating the attachment of the glove portion to the cuff portion.
- the reversible glove construction of the instant invention is illustrated and generally indicated at 10 in FIGS. 1 through 3.
- the glove construction 10 comprises a glove portion generally indicated at 12 and a cuff portion generally indicated at 14, and it is reversble to enable it to be alternatively worn on a left hand, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 or on a right hand, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the glove portion 12 is preferably made of a suitable flexible wire mesh sheet material comprising a large number of interconnected stainless-steel links or rings of relatively small diameter, and it is dimensioned and configured so that it is receivable on a hand of a wearer in a manner similar to a conventional glove.
- the glove portion 12 is, however, constructed so that it is reversible to enable it to be alternatively worn on either the right hand of a wearer or the left hand of the wearer. As will be seen from FIG.
- the glove portion 12 includes an open end portion 16 which is positioned adjacent to and connected to the cuff portion 14, and a slit 18 extends a distance longitudinally inwardly through the open end portion 16 to enable it to be expanded for more easily receiving a hand in the glove portion 12.
- the open end portion 16 is preferably dimensioned so that when the glove portion 12 is received on a hand, the areas of the open end portion 16 which are adjacent the slit 18 are receivable in overlapping relation with each other in order to avoid leaving exposed or unprotected areas on the hand.
- the cuff portion 14 is attached to the open terminal end of the open end portion 16 as illustrated, and it comprises first and second elongated cuff strips 20a and 20b which are intereconnected in adjacent, substantially side-by-side relation with a wire mesh connector portion 21.
- the cuff strips 20a and 20b are preferably independently securable in encircling relation on a wrist of a wearer, and they preferably each comprise a flexible fabric base strip 22, a buckle 24, an end strip 26 having a patch 28 of a hook-and-loop type fastening element, such as Velcro (Velcro USA TM), thereon, and a patch 30 of a hook-and-loop type fastening element of complementary configuration on the other side of the base strip 22 thereof.
- Velcro Velcro
- each of the cuff strips 20a and 20b is securable in encircling relation on a wrist by passing the end strip 26 thereof through the loop 24 thereof and then fastening the patch 28 on the end strip 26 thereof to the patch 30 on the base strip 22 thereof in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the open end portion 16 of the glove portion 12 is secured to the cuff portion 14 between the cuff strips 20a and 20b thereof, and more specifically, it is secured to the connector portion 21 so that the cuff strips 20a and 20b are disposed on opposite sides of the open end portion 16.
- the cuff portion 14 is positionable so that the first cuff strip 20a thereof overlies the adjacent portion of the open end portion 16 and so that the second cuff strip 20b thereof is positioned immediately beyond the open end portion 16 and is receivable in overlaying encircling relation on a wrist of a wearer.
- FIG. 1 the open end portion 16 of the glove portion 12 is secured to the cuff portion 14 between the cuff strips 20a and 20b thereof, and more specifically, it is secured to the connector portion 21 so that the cuff strips 20a and 20b are disposed on opposite sides of the open end portion 16.
- the cuff portion 14 is positionable so that the first cuff strip 20a thereof overlies the adjacent portion of the open end portion 16 and
- the cuff portion 14 when the glove portion 12 is turned inside-out or reversed, the cuff portion 14 is positionable so that the second cuff strip 20b thereof overlies the open end portion 16 and the first cuff strip 20a is positioned immediately beyond the open end portion 16 and is receivable in overlying, encircling relation on a wrist of a wearer.
- the cuff portion 14 is reversible to enable it to be utilized for securing the glove portion 12 on either hand of a wearer.
- the instant invention provides a highly effective glove construction which is readily reversible to enable it to be worn on either hand.
- the cuff portion 14 can be effectively utilized for securing the glove portion 12 on either hand.
- the glove 10 can be manufactured in a single configuration for use on either the left hand or the right hand, and a single glove can be worn by many different meat cutters at different times.
- the instant invention effectively overcomes the disadvantages of the heretofore available glove constructions and that it represents a significant advancement in the art which has substantial commercial merit.
